metric DRO's

Post by midy »

Well got my centroid to England and just doing bench testing - everything up and running (so easy)

I know i've seen it somewhere but can't find it again is how to get the dro to increment properly in metric?

Display does show mm/m, but i get this:

x1 moves 0.003
x10 moves 0.025
x100 moves 0.254

Bear with me, i'm moving over from the dark side (mach)!

set p40 to whatever mm amount you want x1 button to move:-)
f1 setup, f3 config, (type in pass '137') , f3 parameters...go to Parameter #40 enter .01 mm and the x1 button will move .01 mm each time you press it.
